[Lover-boy is not about to make Ilsa's conundrum any easier. He's knocked AND entered before she can really gather herself, and he's swept her into a huge, cuddly hug, that ought to be drowning her in his emotional muddle: worry, love, vain preening, fear that she's going to reject him to "protect" him, equal fear that as she learns how much darkness he's swallowed down in his life, she's going to be repelled --- oh, lots, and more feelings where those come from. But she should also get his relief that she's there, and his joy in holding her and getting to give her a bit of "hero-boy" nurture.]
You do not have to avoid me, liebchen. I'll... I'll let you see. You may not like it, but I'm willing.
[She should be able to feel him waiting, worried that she'll see the darkness inside and stop loving him...and hoping, based on what he thinks she just meatn to say, that he's not empathic-ly repulsive.]
